Tom Homan, the man who ran Trump’s deportation force, promises to clean up Biden’s border disaster. Homan, who served as the acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, made it clear on the third night of the Republican National Convention that if you’ve crossed the border illegally under Biden, you’d better start packing.
Immigration has taken center stage at the Republican National Convention, sharpening the line between Trump’s tough stance and Biden’s laissez-faire approach. Delegates enthusiastically waved “Mass deportations now!” signs as Homan assured them their wish would come true if Trump is re-elected. The contrast couldn’t be starker – secure borders under Trump or chaos under Biden.

Arizona residents living along the border shared their harrowing experiences. Ranchers Jim and Sue Chilton detailed how their property, which includes five miles of the border, has been turned into a danger zone. Their home has been broken into, a Border Patrol agent was shot, and three migrants died of heat exposure, all of which they attribute to Biden’s immigration policies. Biden’s decision to stop building the border wall has left their ranch vulnerable, with illegal crossings skyrocketing.
David Lara of San Luis painted an equally troubling picture. According to Lara, the migrant surge has overwhelmed local services to a ridiculous extent. The fire department now uses off-road vehicles to transport residents to the hospital because the ambulances are tied up dealing with illegal immigrants. Perhaps Biden and Harris enjoy watching communities crumble under the weight of their failed policies.
The convention also highlighted tragic stories that underscore the human cost of Biden’s open-border policies. Speakers included a mother whose son was killed by fentanyl and the family of a Maryland mother who was slain while jogging. Both deaths were tied to illegal immigrants previously deported from other countries who found an easy path back into the U.S. under the Biden administration.
Immigrant rights groups, predictably, have cried foul over the GOP’s focus on immigration, accusing Republicans of fearmongering. But the facts speak for themselves: communities are suffering, lawlessness is rising, and Americans are paying the price. It’s time to restore order, secure the border, and re-elect Trump to finish the job.
